Do you know how to make Greek frappe?
During warm and sunny days and especially in spring and summer, Greeks prefer to drink the cold coffee instead of the warm coffee.
There are many versions, but the easiest to make yourself at home, is the “frappe”
Also Omilo students usually love to drink frappe, and learn to make it while in Greece
While teaching on the island of Syros, teacher Marina explains, in Greek, how to make a frappe.
It is simple, and at the same time, a good listening exercise to improve your Greek! Enjoy!

Ingredients you need to make Frappe
• 1-3 teaspoons instant coffee, preferably Nescafé, preferably the Greek version
• 1-3 teaspoons sugar
• (for the semi-sweet version (Φραππέ μέτριο), you take the same amount of sugar as coffee)
• Cold Water
• Icecubes
• Milk – (fresh milk or coffee milk )
To get the best result, you will need one of the small coffee-mixers (μιξεράκι), around 8-10 euro in Greece.
If you do not have this, you can use a shaker to make the foam, but you really have to shake very well for at least 30 sec.!
In order to drink your frappe, you also need a straw (καλαμάκι).
